Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is what I came up with after hearing this song on the end of the
Knocked up DVD. (Best part of the whole film... lol)
It is in the right key cos I played along to it once I had it figured out.
Play it mostly up on the 6th and 8th frets, that way you can go
down to F at the first fret where he sings about the house smelling
like a wet dog. Have fun
Grey in L.A
A# F D# A#
When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
D# A# F
Cause there's way too much sunshine round here
A# F D# A#
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
D# F A#
Wherever they always appear
A# F D# A#
And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down
D# A# F
On my carport roof made out of tin
A# F D# A#
If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides
D# F A#
We all have to pay for our sin
D# A# D# A#
And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads
D# A# F
And the freeways will all start to clog
D# A# D# A#
And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised
D# A# F
When your whole house smells like your wet dog
A# F D# A#
When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way
D# A# F
It reminds you that this town's so cruel
A# F D# A#
Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses
D# F A#
But really you're just one more fool
A# F D# A#
I'm just a chump this whole town's a dump
D# A# F
We came out here to dump all our dreams
A# F D# A#
Of making it big but we're stuck in a sig alert nightmare
D# F A#
That's just how it seems
D# A# D# A#
And I suppose Laurie David sure knows
D# A# F
All those cars we drive heat up our earth
D# A# D# A#
And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies
D# A# F
And brush fires can sure curb your mirth
A# F D# A#
Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay here
D# A# F
There's no place that's better i know
A# F D# A#
For a wannabe star stuck in a car
D# F A#
On a freeway with nowhere to go
